Final stop of the day - MacDaddy's pizza and bowling! Be sure to ask Mrs. Owens who the air hockey champion was....


Smile Mr. Lemmons, the day's almost over!

Fort Mason

After a long, wet ferry ride followed by another long bus ride, we finally arrived at the fully-restored Fort Macon (not Bacon) http://www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/foma/main.php and huddled together for an educational film on it's rich history:


Then the park ranger (will insert name later) stayed late special for our group so the students could see the fort itself! Here we are, ready to storm the fort:

Ferry Ride #2

Feed the Birds!

After eating their Subway box lunches, students decided to donate their left over potato chip crumbs to the birds of the island and were surprised at the SWARM....cries of "put up your hood...run" could be heard from all over the island!

Ocracoke Lighthouse

See that little tower way over there? It kind of looks like a lighthouse? Well, it is - Ocracoke Lighthouse.......unfortunately it's a little too wet and cold to brave the elements that far and no buses can drive there so a far shot will have to suffice!

Ferry Trip #1

On our way to Ocracoke......

Cape Hateras

Cold.....rainy.......but we braved the elements and trekked out to Hateras Lighthouse:


Site of the original lighthouse:


This picture was taken from the live Hateras Lighthouse web camera, http://www.nps.gov/caha/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm, by a friend back in Charlotte! Kind of blurry, but it's us!

Day 2 - Horse!
